Hervé Novelli Announces New Five-Star Hotels in France

In a recent press conference, Hervé NOVELLI, the Secretary of State for Tourism, presented the most recent list of hotels to receive the new five-star rating, and discussed the reform of the hotel classification system in France.

Mr. Novelli announced that the following hotels received the new five-star classification:

- Hôtel Impérial Garoupe in Antibes Juan les Pins,
- Hôtel InterContinental Carlton in Cannes
- Hôtel La Bastide Saint-Antoine in Grasse
- Hôtel Negresco in Nice

The hotels received the designation after a lengthy French Ministry of Tourism audit consisting of 240 criteria related to guest expectations of comfort and hygiene, as well as new aspects such as hotel services, sustainable development and new technologies. The new framework of classification has completely redefined the old system (in place since the 1960s) that classified hotels in France from zero to four stars, with luxury hotels receiving the "palace" designation.

Long awaited by travel professionals, the creation and the placement of the fifth star is essential for French hotels to be able to attract a new high-end clientele, especially business travelers. "The five-star hotel rating existed everywhere except in France, and this was confusing for international hotel guests used to staying in five-star hotels," said Mr. Novelli.

By the end of the year, Mr. Novelli estimated that 100 to 150 hotels will receive the five-star, luxury hotel designation, and the "palace" classification will disappear. With the newest additions, there are now 26 hotels in France with the five-star hotel rating.
